Since this got necro’d, Median XL 2.0 is a masterpiece. If you haven’t tried it because it’s different, you’re being ignorant. My opinion is that Median is night and day a better game than vanilla but it doesn’t have PvP — strictly a very fun and challenging PvM experience.
I returned to Diablo for pvp and new graphics but the game experience from walking through norm-hell, the abysmal drop rates, and the stale repeated farming is mind numbing and extremely boring. I’m committed to finishing my pvp chars otherwise I’d have quit already. Lots of nostalgia for sure but it’s just not optimized.
It’s a shame Median XL will likely never be playable on Resurrected graphics or it would be mindblowingly successful
Edit: Median is not some D3 “everything gg drops in an hour” either but you don’t have to do 5,000 trav runs for a hr. Drops are healthier and the farming activities both make more sense and are more rewarding. There’s zones that have drop biases for certain things such as uniques or sets that you can target farm and they’re less repetitive
This post makes me interested in trying the mod. Like OP... Mods are not really my thing, but it is nice to try different perspectives of a beloved game. Now.. to get it installed.
